Neuk Collective is back online for our eighteenth online ND Artist Meet-up.

March Topic: Shaping Identity Through Language
How do words shape our sense of self and how we communicate who we are? This month, we’ll explore the language of neurodiversity, unpacking various terms while sharing how these resonate with our experiences.

Meetups are now open to neurodivergent artists from the whole UK!

Access: Closed captioning will be provided through otter.ai. If you have any other access needs please get in touch at neuk@doorinthewall.co.uk

FAQ:

Q: Do I need to book?

A: Yes, in order to keep the event link relatively private we are asking people to sign up for the meet-up on humanitix.

Q: I can’t make the whole thing - can I drop in for half an hour?

A: Yes, this is a Sunday night casual meet-up, stay for as long as you want to

Q: What do you mean by “neurodivergent”?

A: Anyone who identifies with the term neurodivergent, no formal diagnosis required. The Neurodivergent umbrella includes but is not limited to autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, learning disabilities, FND, CPTSD, and others.

Q: What do you mean by “artist”?

A: Neuk Collective mainly focuses on ND people working in the arts in a professional capacity, whether as artists, designers, arts workers etc. However we understand that for many disabled and otherwise marginalised people, our career paths are not straightforward and not everyone will be earning an income from their art. We just ask that you take your practice seriously and aspire to professional or semi-professional practice, whatever that means to you.
